Here’s what happened:
“ Effective January 22, 2024, OPKO Health, Inc. (the “Company”) terminated its share lending agreement, dated as of February 4, 2019 (the “ShareLendingAgreement”), entered into with Jefferies Capital Services, LLC (the “Share Borrower”), pursuant to which the Company lent to the Share Borrower approximately 30 million shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share in connection with the 2019 issuance of its $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes due
2025. The amount of outstanding borrowed shares was subsequently reduced by approximately 8,313,000 shares and, concurrent with the termination of the Share Lending Agreement, all shares have been returned to the Company to be held as treasury shares.”
I agree. Sent this last Wednesday to management:
CFO
“Probably my last message, but wanted you to hear my perspective. The recent note issue was a win/win for Dr. Frost. He either gets interest and his balance back or shares at a low price. Win/win for him.
We are currently in one of the greatest bull markets of all time and if Trump wins it will continue I believe. OPKO has not participated. Why is that…see suggestions.
What is the cause to watch a stock go from near 20 to under a dollar?? Poorly managed. Dr. Frost has the financial ammo to just have fun with OPKO. I understand running at a deficit for a while, but we are at year 17!!! Whoever the CFO is should be fired in my opinion. Doesn’t he make nearly a million a year? It’s his job to come up with suggestions to keep the company financially healthy. Replacing him for half his salary would not be too difficult. What does he do besides inputting numbers to a spreadsheet and attend four conference calls a year? Please send his job description.
Does he look out for the best interest of other shareholders? The company and its share price could be higher with a profit of 15% on an annual basis. I was in business and we hit our goal every year for 20 years. Never less than 15%. When we had inclement weather we delivered to peoples’ homes for a fee on snowmobiles. We did whatever it takes as the expression goes.
So, how does one achieve this??? Grow the business of course. Reduce employee count and become streamlined, efficient. Look at salaries and benefits. Is there a protocol how employees address patients? Look at Chick-Fil-A. Trained very well. Look at Enterprise rent a car. Trained very well. Emulate others when appropriate. The CEO of Costco visits every Costco every year. Do employees know what is expected of them? At those businesses you can see what is expected of them.
Pass along to the CFO and the CEO please. What I expect of the CEO and CFO-Do your job for shareholders and not just for yourselves. It is your fiduciary obligation.
Have a great day!”
Adam Logal is a complete moron. I wouldn’t hire him as a teller if I owned a bank.
IMO and I'm on Hallucinogenic acid, and tripping
I feel Phil Frost will rally this company all the way up to 1.25 a share. I know I'm a little buzzed .
But this guy is so smart. Look at the great results. So you got to average down since 2015 from 18 bucks a share.
It's just waiting to roar back. Who cares about my foreclosure of the house I lost
The stock will rally. I mortgage my home and lost it all so far.. I still helieve in guys like Richard Phenninger. So I lost my life savings, we will kake it back Phil is honest, and the stock will b return back to 18.00. I'll get all KY life savings back
Yes, aftermarket trades were big. I saw the signaling MM activity or the CREW.
15 share blocks 95 shares to buy a 97 cent stock.
Nothing more than communication of under 100 share block that move the needle, but 652k blocks are even at 1.00.. They control the market on shares.
Buys, why... could be something
More than 8 million shares traded after market yesterday. That’s what I have. Anyone see that?

CEO SUMMARY: It’s a case of the little fish gobbling the big fish, as Opko Health—with revenue of $91 million—will be acquiring Bio-Reference Laboratories, with revenue of $832 million.
-Today, the cost to run the labs is 600 million annually. Adam Logal gave this info.
P.S. There are two people at investor relations. I was dealing with Yvonne for a while until she would not respond with some of the info I have the right to know. Bruce is the other and he has been helpful.
I’m not sure where your information regarding BRL came from but the management was highly corrupt when OPKO bought them and I’m struggling to remember them being profitable. For rents paid to Dr owned properties they were fined $10 mil for overpaying rent to these people in return for referrals. There is nothing good about anything here. From the lawsuits to the empty promises it stinks and the crap reaches the sky. Just sell and move on. Use the tax loss.
When during the company’s hay day of Covid-19testing I suggested Frost sell the company as this would boost the stock price. The company actually was profitable for a while, but I knew that would not last the way Frost wastes money. When this didn’t happen I sold in the $ 4s (years ago). Now, I check back on this loser and see how right I was. I also predicted about a year ago the stock price would drop below $1. It took longer than expected but finally got there. Soon to be delisted and join the land of penny stocks. Sad! I don’t know why some still hang on to this loser as it has the worst possible management that keeps wasting money and not a chance of ever being profitable with these clowns running the company.
DegenerateGambler
Ps: I check back in a year or so (if OPKO is still listed)
With these new notes, Frost is up to 300 mil in common stock. At five bucks he’ll be able to cash in at around 1.5 billion minus cost basis. The lab as we all know is the key issue. How they haven’t figured out how to manage it is beyond me. When they bought it it was profitable on a regular basis. My message did get through to management about why haven’t they been constantly reducing staff to get expenses and income in line? They listened is all that I was told. It sends a strong message from investors to get your act together and start to be consistently profitable.
I don’t think management is too worried. All of them are very wealthy. Take care everyone and good fortune to all)

$ 1.00 then rip down by short
Selling.. then your at .93 and change.
Scoop up shares at the preferred prices that the public isnt Privledged and then makes it way back up.. Crime. The Nevada limited partnership
Is causing it..Opko knows who shorts there own stock. White collar crime, maybe they use a blue shirt. All drops were followed by Insider buying , but at lower levels. How convienant.. Securities manipulation but overlooked by the Securities and Exchange Commision. Judges park in the handicapped with a fake hanger and jog to the courthouse. Violators who get away with it..
Smart move on Frost’s part. In looking at all his past options, many just granted to him and others at pennies on the dollar he made a very smart move for himself. In negotiating a private repurchase of some 50 million plus shares back to the treasury of the company he essentially may have sold much of those cheap option purchases. I believe he did and made money, then turned around and had his investment on the new notes to be able to purchase more stock at $1.15 or cash with interest. Win win for him.
He has nothing to lose on that note transaction.
Vomit, Puke, throw- up, regurgitate , Hurl ,
Blow chunks, these are all the Mission statements posted at Opko.
" were sickening culture"
Market Maker MM, " see they let it Run without interference. Staircase up, they can also restrain it. $ 1.00 landed on the coin.see the closing price Controlled ... Not sure , but Tuesday at the open may squeeze the lemon and keep it over 1 by 4pm..
He and Nabel have conditional options at 1.61. Around 40 million each. Quite the incentive. Unfortunately, Elias has to walk a tightrope to Frost.
Frost knows the evolution of drug development well. I’ll give him that.
Managing is not his forte.
The reaction is overblown I believe. The company bought tens of millions at the open Friday. With the remaining cash they bought the Senior 2025 notes (essentially, kicking the can down the road).
Other than this nothing really changed. The lab is a big nemesis. Costing hundreds of millions. Management should have used milestone payments to pay the notes instead of funding the lab loss. The lab was profitable when Opko purchased it. Shows what mismanagement can cause.
Scale down employees. Elon Must cut his employee count 80 percent at Twitter. Expects to be profitable this year.
Do what it takes is my motto. HGH IS PURE PROFIT NOW. I wrote to Elias and reminded him of his goal by the beginning of the year to have the lab at break even. I reminded him he did not do as he said…do what you say you’re going to do. Million dollar salaries and benefits to senior management regardless of company performance. Frost and Jane could write a check for the remaining shares. The ball is in OPKO’s court to perform.
Walkdown at Monday open and recovery late in the day. IMO Don't put it past these. MM TENDENCY, scare tactics to open down, down, down, and at 10:30am they bought in again.
I think it could occur. , Scenario #2 , keep it above 0.9067 to 94 cent close.
Elias A Zerhouni Vice Chairman wouldn't be investing $511,779.00 at .93 if their wasn't the believe that the price would go higher.
The insiders own most of their shares at higher prices.

Delisting notice in 28 days..90 cent stock
At the Friday close.Will they get one. No...
The news release buried this and it will IMO
Be at 1.05 to1.12 in 2 weeks
The club all bought together, after the Convienent Tanking on Opk.
Key word, They... They did not buy before, THEY
bought together. So, the scheme was conspired together and bought together. Why, they made the stock tank because they have no Revenue or earnings increase to move this.. So, they drilled it in the AZZ. to buy in lower because they Suck as manager and Suck at Finance. Some they resort to crime to make up for being INEPT.
" the guy sells drugs on the corner,why didn't go to college. Opko ripped people off in the investment community because they can manage any profitable companies.
Opko president, Elias buys 550,300 @ .93 cents and the other stooges bought minimal
Pinocchio has been accumulating Opko stock since yesterday. And so has Richard Spinkter..
Phenninger excuse me. He's the guy around crime... WGS signal last time by him, and he just signaled again. Weren't you paying attention.
Opko and SEC to host a Golf tournament
at the Nevada CC. Penny stock fraudsters will raise money for needy shareholders of Schemes and deception SEC is happy to help . Right !
Insiders have the majority of shares. Interesting how manipulated 90 plus million shares traded today does not move the needle much. I haven’t seen any analysts commenting yet. Hope everyone does not get hurt too much.
Going private is not what this SOB CEO wants to do when he can collaborate with the shorts ?
A pretty good setup for going Private.
Phillip Frost should take a few drops of cyanide in his coffee this morning and long shareholders can celebrate and have a party.useless pos CEO .
Frost, retire tomorrow. You are unfit to run a public company. You are detrimental to the investing public. A 40 % drop today.
Someone benefitted. Who did Phil
SEC, is useless in this with opk.
Investigation should happen, stock watch, and Volume watch. 2.3 average and today 80 million shares traded... Alarm, then Investigation... Do your stinking Job SEC
Have him removed from being head of anymore companies. HARMFUL !!!
In my opinion Phillip Frost should be investigated. After all he settle with the SEC for 5 million dollars (?pump and dump ) but I’m sure he made 3 times as much with his pump and dump schemes. Maybe This time around giving information to someone to make a trade on his behalf and short the stock . Does this sounds familiar? Well Phillip Frost is a crook after settling with the SEC . Why because he has the money to pay the SEC off. Why did he not go to jail and why does the SEC just settle with this CEO pumptard ?
All in my opinion about this pumptard Phillip Frost CEO .
Do you Still thinks it's going to 8.00. , after the soma launch. It did get close to .80 cents
Nobody in the company is stepping forward, and the CEO did not prepare a statement to shareholders In English- Opko Doesn't have the BACK of there shareholders.
Left them at the Curb.
* Can we please have a new Quaterback
This stock would double if Phillip Frost has a heart attack and dies . In other words he is worthless in the financial world and how to run a business. Come on Frost you don’t have much left is this world so hurry up and kick the bucket 🪣 and do all retail shareholders a favor .$OPK
Exactly my thoughts here . Oversold
Reversion to the Mean. This will rebound. Oversold (undervalued) here. This is a great short term buy opportunity.
If you were adding shares before this drop then go ahead and sell or just buy some more shares and average down . Don’t be stupid and start saying this is going to BK. Take it like it is. Time to buy is now !
Added shares here today.
Financial Metrics of Opk are bankruptcy
Status and denial. As they operate.
Metrics are Facts ! Opko heath in grave financial position as Pfizer revenues they Bet on aren't Happening. True of False.
It's True !
